The School of Health and Human Services has a number of community partnerships locally and abroad. We offer community practice placements, the possibility to study internationally, and committee opportunities that create valued links to our community partners.
Engaging community
The School of Health and Human Services (HHS) engages community!
All of our programs have you working in community either in practicum or clinical placements. We strive to recognize and reward excellence through our awards and scholarships. Our teachers are inspiring educators encouraging each learner to share their wisdom and knowledge.
Interdisciplinary Education
Interdisciplinary education is the process in which two or more disciplines purposely interact. The delivery of interdisciplinary educational programming will help prepare our graduates for employment in complex work environments where they can understand multiple perspectives, and work with a variety of disciplines, with a focus on the individual, families, and communities.
Community Placements
HHS has a number of community partnerships locally and throughout Vancouver Island. Clinical and community placements for our programs can be at a variety of sites. We work with our community partners to provide a broad scope of learning opportunities for students in healthcare disciplines.
Field Schools
Field Schools are short-term study abroad programs with long-lasting memories. Want to study in a foreign country? Our Dental Hygiene students travel to Mexico, while some our Nursing students studied in New Zealand.
Program Advisory Committees
Our programs are constantly changing and evolving. Program Advisory Committees (PACs) provide advice on currency and relevance of our programs and creates a valued link to our community.
Camosun's PAC Policy provides an overview of the committees purpose and principles along with committee Terms of Reference (TOR) and membership roles and responsibilities.
